ACU Athletics and Hanner Chevrolet GMC have teamed up to thank and publicly recognize departments on campus who play a significant role in the success of our student-athletes. We are happy to announce that our students, coaches, and staff have selected the College of Business Administration as this month’s department honoree!
ACU Athletics has over 90 student-athletes majoring in one of the three departments within the College of Business Administration. Thank you for equipping these student-athletes for lives of inspired Christian service and leadership. To show our appreciation, Hanner Chevrolet GMC will be providing lunch for your team. Your department will also be recognized in a feature story on ACUSports.com, on Hanner Chevrolet’s website, and on the videoboard during the football game this weekend.
In addition, our partners at Hanner Chevrolet GMC encourage all ACU faculty/staff to explore their GM Educator Discount Program when considering their next vehicle purchase.
